  1. Change Config.nmis to tell NMIS to use htpasswd 

    Code Block
    %hash = (
--SNIP-- 
 'authentication' => {
 --SNIP--
   'auth_method_1' => 'htpasswd',  # <= change this FROM apache TO htpasswd

  2. Backup old apache configGenerate new apache configuration (if you have customised yours edit it and remove the auth portions instead of generating a new one) 

    Code Block
    #backup old config
cd /etc/httpd/conf.d/
cp 00nmis.conf 00nmis.conf.pre-8.3.24G.bak

  3. Create new config to replace old config and restart apache 

    Code Block
    /usr/local/nmis8/bin/nmis.pl type=apache > /etc/httpd/conf.d/00nmis.conf
service httpd restart

Setup SNMP Trap Daemon

NMIS 8.4.1 has included some Cisco and Generic MIBS and added the ability to view the SNMP traps in the NMIS logging tool.

You will need to copy the options file to the right location and restart the daemon.

Code Block
cp /usr/local/nmis8/install/snmptrapd.options /etc/sysconfig/snmptrapd 
service snmptrapd restart

You can test the MIB resolution with this command

Code Block
snmptranslate -m ALL -M /usr/local/nmis8/mibs/traps 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.43.1.1.6.1.5.34

Which should result in:

CISCO-CONFIG-MAN-MIB::ccmHistoryEventConfigDestination.34
